Comments Thread For: Khan Stands His Ground: Never Rejected Bradley Clash

[FLY TY]

I don't have a high opinion of Khan. However, I am a realist. What is the use of paying a sanctioning fee when you don't have to? Khan and/or his team turned the fight down because Khan can make just as much fighting Algieri as he can Bradley with much less risk and without paying a sanctioning fee. He can then fight Brook for the championship belt if Mayweather decides not to fight him (which is what Khan has been holding out for all along).

The haters tend to forget that it was Bradley who refused to fight Khan previously. Khan gains nothing by fighting Bradley -- not even the respect of the haters on this message board because the haters will still hate him if he fought Bradley and KO'd him.

I think khan gains a lot by fighting Bradley, especially in terms of trying to bid for mayweather or paquiao. I think it's the ibf and their sanctioning fee for the fight he has no interest in. Like him or not, he has a point when he says fighting in the eliminator is pointless, because he can fight the champ if he chose to. In this particular case here, i don't think he can be accused of ducking anyone. In respect to a fight with brook, that's obviously a different story.

October 9, 2011:

According to Ring Magazine, Roach said the following about Bradley: "I know that Tim Bradley wouldn't fight Amir Khan. So now, all of a sudden, he's in position to fight Manny Pacquiao because he signed with Bob Arum?"

Regardless, Roach isn't worried about Bradley. He gave predictions on a Bradley fight, saying: "Either way, I really don't care. Tim Bradley ducked one of my guys, Amir Khan, and he would get knocked out by my other guy, Manny Pacquiao."

June 10, 2012:

Amir Khan has issued a challenge to Timothy Bradley after labelling the American's victory over Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night "a joke".

Khan has twice attempted to fight Bradley in the past, accusing the unbeaten pugilist of ducking him in order to protect his record. However, after seeing the weekend's encounter with Pacquiao, he is ready to make a third approach.

I feel like some people in here became boxing fans around the time Bradley was waiting for his contract to run out to sign with top rank. So I'm gonna tell u what happened the 2 years before that since you obviously missed it. Bradley called out khan time after time after time to no avail. khan sounded just like he does with Brook with all the excuses. He only acted like he wanted it at that point and and he got the people that are not in the know to believe it apparently. Now that the fight is there for him again, once again the excuses begin.

who cares? we want him to fight brook.

[Kris Silver]

Says he doesn't turn down guys whom have proven themselves.

Says its not about the money.

Then says, he's not going to face Bradley anyway because he'd have to pay a sanctioning fee, and could face Brook for the main belt anyway.



You could literally direct your guys, or pick up the phone yourself and get it done for either of these bigger names/fights, (Brook or Bradley) Amir. Stop jostling and contradicting yourself.

[tokon]

so, he thinks an eliminator makes no sense because he already has the multi million dollar offer on the table to fight brook, the champion. is this the same offer he didn't accept in the first place?

Someone in his management needs to tell khan to the before he speaks . . .

Fight Brooks

Thats it, that all anyone want to see you fight, hell people want to see you fight him more then they want to see you face, pacquaio or mayweather!

[torosboxing75]

[Wicky]

Fight Brooks

Thats it, that all anyone want to see you fight, hell people want to see you fight him more then they want to see you face, pacquaio or mayweather!

"Brook"... just sayin'

[LacedUp]

who cares? we want him to fight brook.

That's the bottom line.

He's coming up with all the excuses in the world as to why that fight can't happen.

Completely ridiculous.
